Driven partridge shooting
A paradise for driven partridge shooting
We offer a wide range of excellent and varied partridge shooting throughout the UK on an abundance of estates with truly different and varied topography, from Cornwall in the south to Inverness-shire in the North.
In the North of England and Scotland we shoot driven partridges on the moor edges and in South England in deep valleys out of game crops, and traditional partridges over hedgerows. In some areas sporting estates can present both English and French partridge. The options and quality of the birds are vast and we can tailor your partridge day to suit the exact requirement of your team.
GENERAL ITINERARY ON A DRIVEN PARTRIDGE DAY
Guns assemble at 8.45/9.00am to be greeted with tea, coffee and bacon sandwiches or pastery. The Shoot Captain will hold a safety briefing and then Guns draw for pegs. If loaders/instructors have been arranged, then they now introduce themselves and takes care of your shooting equipment. We move off for the first drive(s) either in the estate gunbus or in 4×4 vehicles. After a few hours shooting we stop for refreshing elevenses in the field. Shooting commences and we shoot one drive prior stopping for lunch which in most cases consist of two courses accompanied by fine wines, then possibly followed by a cheese platter and port. After lunch shooting continues, generally for one or two additional afternoon drives. We end the day with afternoon tea and meet the Headkeeper who will inform about the day’s bag. On departure each Gun receives a brace of birds to enjoy at home.
Later in the year, or due to the weather, it is possible we will choose to shoot through and end the day with lunch.
